Tanya Penny, Illness & Trauma Guide, Spiritual Alchemist

Since I began working with Tanya, I feel I have grown in so many ways that I would have never considered. The thought that my illness could have stemmed from my deep commitment to self-criticism and lack of self-love, and martyring myself as a “beast of burden” had never occurred to me. The onset of symptoms included visual and hearing loss, capped with facial paralysis. After extensive work-ups from experts, a “professional opinion” of Multiple Sclerosis was all I had. Given there was no hard evidence pointing to this assumption, I proceeded to look elsewhere for answers. In reflection, I absolutely believe my symptoms were the product of an unattainable goal of “perfection,” extreme stress—and guilt for decisions and choices that didn’t support that goal—and the fact that regardless of whether I succeeded or failed at a physical or mental endeavor, it was never good enough. This resulted in me physically breaking myself down, both in body and spirit. I believe I achieved critical mass when I became ill with a recurring virus two months prior to the onset of my symptoms. Without a doubt I feel this perfect storm of personal behaviors, coupled with a trigger, led to my symptoms.

While working with Tanya over the past 10 months, my physical symptoms have continued to improve, and I feel I have made gains in all areas of my life. Not only do I feel more at peace with my current circumstances and my contributions to such circumstances, but I have become a more patient and loving father, a more cooperative husband, and a compassionate caregiver. I have also learned to give myself some slack, I expect progress and not perfection, and I love my life for what I have, and don’t dwell on what I do not have. Tanya’s tools, especially the therapeutic meditation practices, are effective at helping me find positive daily mindsets, and rebounding daily during stressful episodes. They also quickly guide me to restful sleep at night. I’m grateful for the guidance and tools Tanya has given me.

I highly recommend working with Tanya! She has helped me more in a few weeks than others have in years. I had been suffering from grief, physical health problems from Multiple Sclerosis, and past trauma issues while also transitioning from my day job to my own business. It all came up! Once she introduced me to her mind-body healing tools most of my symptoms stopped almost immediately. It was like my spirit finally felt heard and no longer needed to scream for attention. I have also had more clients sign up to work with me in 2 weeks than I had been getting per month. I plan to continue working with Tanya. Life is always changing and it's nice to have someone right by your side to support you. Thank you Tanya, for everything you've done to help me find my road to happiness.

Working with Tanya has been incredibly life changing! I have made so much progress in the last 16 months! I honestly feel that I couldn't have done it without her support and guidance and accountability. When we started working together, I'd just had a full hip replacement surgery at the age of 39 and this caused the Multiple Sclerosis to flare up and my doctor wanted me to start taking disease modifying drugs. I was also on medication for chronic migraines and a pain reliever for 15 years. I knew I wanted to heal and not use medications any longer. With Tanya by my side, I started to delve deeper into emotional healing and acquired many tools to support me.

After 15 years on my healing journey, I just had my first "normal" neurological exam!!! I am off all medications with no symptoms except fatigue when I overdo it. I am still working with Tanya to shift this "superwoman" pattern. I am further living proof that the mind/body healing and natural way not only works but is achievable by anyone looking to take their health into their own hands. I couldn't have done it without Tanya Penny. Thank you Tanya, from the bottom of my heart! I will be eternally grateful to you helping people heal the natural way.

What a blessing it has been to work with Tanya Penny! Following a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in June of 2013 I found myself overwhelmed. Along with the diagnosis I was given a recommended list of drug therapy options and all of the crazy side effects attached to those. Yikes! I wanted to heal but I knew I did not want to put those drugs into my body. A good friend recommended I work with Tanya right away. Coaching with Tanya has not only been healing for me, but the positive energy and attitude the guided therapeutic meditation practices and  mindset coaching have instilled in me has been contagious with my husband and so many of the people I surround myself with. I feel empowered and healthy! Aside from treating the MS symptoms I am thrilled with the confident and positive person my work with Tanya has allowed me to become. Thank you Tanya! You are a blessing!
